Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes

4.0

Man, if I want to teach and talk about 9/11 with kids that weren't even born when it happened, I'd give them this book. It's also a sweet story about friendship, homelessness, and coming to grips with something that changed our nation. I thought overall that it was a great upper elementary read dealing with such a heavy topic. It's does get really heavy, but Deja was a wonderful protagonist for kids to discover and learn about 9/11 with.
